If you play Max Payne with any kind of sincere effort to be serious about what's going on, you're not doing it right. I think Max Payne 3 can't hold a candle to Max Payne 2 because of how they play. Max Payne 3 tries to be sarcastic, serious and dark. Max Payne 2 is dark, but 100% sarcastic and utilizes just the right tropes to make everything funny. It's like May Payne 3 got diluted too much, like when you put too much milk in your coffee.

As far as the gameplay is concerned, Max Payne always seemed to be a frustrating game; there's equal potential that you'll snap your controller in half or feel like a champ afterwards.

Has anyone already played Dead Space 3? After seeing the review, I am considering not buying it since the game is not as scary and surprising as the installments before.... Although it received a good score, I still have my doubts.

Guh, Fire Emblem Awakening is harder than I thought. I can't use the typical tactics I used in Fire Emblem [7] and Fire Emblem Sacred Stones. Pairing-up and local character supports all add a new strategy element to the game, which is awesome.

Good gameplay with nice variety, good enemy IA, awesome bosses and a good story (for a Third person shooter game) with a likable cast. As a single player game, I found it way better than Gears of Wars campaigns and such (weird how IMO the best TPS are japan made, mainly this one and Vanquish).

Fallout 2 9/10- I just got this crazy urge to replay fallout...ALL OF THEM. Fallout 2 is one of the best top down RPG's IMO. It's really challenging but not like the first one where its just impossible. I love how much there is to do in the game as well.
